Tollgate Close, Cottage Farm, Oadby

Accomodation;

Tucked away at the quieter end of a tree-lined cul-de-sac on the edge of Oadby, this beautifully presented four-bedroom detached house offers a rare chance to step into a contemporary home that has been carefully upgraded and thoughtfully styled. Built just six years ago by Bloor Homes to their popular “Houghton” design, the property still benefits from four years of its NHBC warranty and is brought to market fully furnished and chain free, making it a genuine turnkey opportunity in a sought-after setting.

Occupying a prime position at the front of the development, the house enjoys uninterrupted views over open fields to the rear. The frontage includes a broad driveway with space for two cars, together with a detached garage fitted with an electric roller door and an EV charging point.

Inside, the layout balances elegant open spaces with areas designed for quiet retreat or productivity. The entrance hall, finished in high-quality Amtico flooring, sets a welcoming tone with its neutral palette and clean lines. To one side lies a bright and calming living room with a large front-facing window, while the opposite side has been adapted into a generous home office, well suited to the demands of modern working life.

The heart of the home unfolds across the rear, where an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space creates an inviting hub for both entertaining and family living. Natural light pours in through skylights and wide French doors, connecting the interior with the landscaped garden beyond. The kitchen itself has been significantly upgraded, with a striking granite-topped island at its centre, complemented by integrated appliances including a five-ring gas hob, double oven, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. Soft-close cabinetry in a refined off-grey palette is set against a teal backdrop, while oak-framed doors, brushed fittings and subtle spot lighting complete the stylish finish. A utility room offers discreet space for laundry and additional storage, and a downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite is especially impressive, with space for a king-size bed, fitted wardrobes and sweeping views across the fields. Its en suite bathroom has been fitted to a high standard, featuring a rainfall shower and sleek modern fixtures. The remaining bedrooms—two doubles and a generous single—are served by a family bathroom with a contemporary three-piece suite.

The rear garden has been completely redesigned to create a private, low-maintenance retreat, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Finished with Vuba Resin and artificial grass laid on a permeable concrete base, it is bordered by raised planters and enclosed by modern fencing for privacy. Additional features include wall-mounted garden lighting, CCTV security, and energy-efficient heating systems throughout. The detached garage offers further potential, with scope for conversion to a gym, studio or additional workspace, subject to the necessary consents.
